Exercise: Solve the logarithmic equation, round decimal answers to the thousandths place.
Log(x+2)=1+ log x
log ( x + 2) = 1 + log (x)
We can write
log ( x + 2) - log (x) = 1 using a log property, we have that
log [ (x + 2) / x ] = 1 in exponential form, we have
10 ^1 = [x + 2] / x
10 = [ x + 2] / x multiply both sides by x
10x = x + 2 subtract x from both sides
9x = 2 divide both sides by 9
x = 2/9 ≈ 0.222
